American Anti-Slavery Society



The American Anti-Slavery Society (1833-1870) was founded by William Lloyd Garrison and Arthur Tappan. Frederick Douglass was a key leader of the society and often spoke at its meetings. William Wells Brown was another freed slave who often spoke at meetings. By 1835, the society had 1,000 local chapters with around 150,000 members. Famous members included Theodore Dwight Weld, Lewis Tappan, Lydia Child, Maria Weston Chapman, Henry Highland Garnet, Samuel Cornish, James Forten, Charles Lenox Remond, Robert Purvis, and Wendell Phillips. The American Anti-Slavery Society should not be confused with the American Anti-Slavery Group--a modern-day group. ==External link== * *[http://afgen.com/slavery2.html American Anti-Slavery Society, "Constitution"] Abolitionism
